I'm posting this to see if anyone else saw this happening today. First, I love the Mentored Youth day overall. I was able to my kids out on the Breeches today and they had a blast. It was a beautiful day and they both got into a good amount of fish. What drove me nuts is the first run we drove up to was being fished by 3 adults. Ages in the range of 25-65. They took up the whole run. I asked them if they knew it was fishing just for youth today and they told me to read the book, it's one adult per youth and they weren't going to keep any fish. There were no youth in sight and when I asked about it they said they knew the kids downstream. I went back and read the book and it does say that adults can fish but there must be a child and no keeping fish. For me, it's more ethics than anything else but I'm wondering if anyone noticed this? I would suggest allowing adults to actively mentor the youth but not be able to fish on their own or at the very least have verbiage that mandates actively fishing together. Maybe I'm the only one frustrated by it. I thought I'd share to see if this a larger issues across the state.
